Elephant Butte Dam marks 100th birthday celebration
Gov. Susana Martinez and officials marked 100 years since Elephant Butte Dam began, highlighting its role in irrigation across southern New Mexico, West Texas, and Mexico. The 300 foot high concrete structure stores hundreds of millions of gallons, brings flood control, and supports 178000 acres of farmland. The dam attracts tourism, with parks reporting over a million visitors last year, and was completed in 1916 after five years of construction begun in 1905.
